grantee, or grantor. 

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND

DISPOSAL OF RECORDS: 

Retention and disposition of these 

records is in accordance with the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration-approved records 

disposition schedule with a retention of 

75 years. 

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL

SAFEGUARDS: 

Electronic records may be secured 

and maintained on a cloud-based 

software server and operating system 

that resides in Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program 

(FedRAMP) and Federal Information 

Security Modernization Act (FISMA) 

hosting environment. Data located in 

the cloud-based server is firewalled and 

encrypted at rest and in transit. The 

security mechanisms for handling data 

at rest and in transit are in accordance 

with DOE encryption standards. 

Records are protected from 

unauthorized access through the 

following appropriate safeguards: 

• Administrative: Access to all 

records is limited to lawful government 

purposes only, with access to electronic 

records based on role and either twofactor authentication or password 

protection. The system requires 

passwords to be complex and to be 

changed frequently. Users accessing 

system records undergo frequent 

training in Privacy Act and information 

security requirements. Security and 

privacy controls are reviewed on an 

ongoing basis. 

• Technical: Computerized records 

systems are safeguarded on 

Departmental networks configured for 

role-based access based on job 

responsibilities and organizational 

affiliation. Privacy and security controls 

are in place for this system and are 

updated in accordance with applicable 

requirements as determined by NIST 

and DOE directives and guidance. 

• Physical: Computer servers on 

which electronic records are stored are 

located in secured Department facilities, 

which are protected by security guards, 

identification badges, and cameras. 

Paper copies of all records are locked in 

file cabinets, file rooms, or offices and 

are under the control of authorized 

personnel. Access to these facilities is 

granted only to authorized personnel 

and each person granted access to the 

system must be an individual 

authorized to use or administer the 

system. 

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: 

The Department follows the 

procedures outlined in title 10 CFR 

1008.4. Valid identification of the 

individual making the request is 

required before information will be 

processed, given, access granted, or a 

correction considered, to ensure that 

information is processed, given, 

corrected, or records disclosed or 

corrected only at the request of the 

proper person. 

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: 

Any individual may submit a request 

to the System Manager and request a 

copy of any records relating to them. In 

accordance with 10 CFR 1008.11, any 

individual may appeal the denial of a 

request made by him or her for 

information about or for access to or 

correction or amendment of records. An 

appeal shall be filed within 90 calendar 

days after receipt of the denial. When an 

appeal is filed by mail, the postmark is 

conclusive as to timeliness. The appeal 

shall be in writing and must be signed 

by the individual. The words 

‘‘PRIVACY ACT APPEAL’’ should 

appear in capital letters on the envelope 

and the letter. Appeals of denials 

relating to records maintained in 

government-wide System of Records 

reported by Office of Personnel 

Management (OPM), shall be filed, as 

appropriate, with the Assistant Director 

for Agency Compliance and Evaluation, 

OPM, 1900 E Street NW, Washington, 

DC 20415. All other appeals relating to 

DOE records shall be directed to the 

Director, Office of Hearings and Appeals 

(OHA), 1000 Independence Avenue SW, 

Washington, DC 20585. 

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: 

In accordance with the DOE 

regulation implementing the Privacy 

Act, 10 CFR part 1008, a request by an 

individual to determine if a system of 

records contains information about 

themselves should be directed to the 

U.S. Department of Energy, 

Headquarters, Privacy Act Officer. The 

request should include the requester’s 

complete name and the time period for 

which records are sought.

BILLING CODE 6450–01–P 

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy 

Act of 1974 and the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

Circulars A–108 and A–130, the 

Department of Energy (DOE or the 

Department) is publishing notice of a 

modification to an existing Privacy Act 

System of Records. DOE proposes to 

amend System of Records DOE–25 U.S. 

Commuter Locator and Parking Space 

Information System. This System of 

Records Notice (SORN) is being 

modified to align with new formatting 

requirements, published by OMB, and 

to ensure appropriate Privacy Act 

coverage of business processes and 

Privacy Act information. 

DATES: This modified SORN will 

become applicable following the end of 

the public comment period on January 

21, 2025 unless comments are received 

that result in a contrary determination. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments should 

be sent to Ken Hunt, Chief Privacy 

Officer, U.S. Department of Energy, 

1000 Independence Avenue SW, Rm. 

8H–085, Washington, DC 20585, by 

facsimile at (202) 586–8151, or by email 

at privacy@hq.doe.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 9, 2009, DOE published a 

Compilation of its Privacy Act Systems 

of Records, which included System of 

Records DOE–25 U.S. Commuter 

Locator and Parking Space Information 

System. This notice proposes the 

following amendments: Bonneville 

Power Administration has been 

included as a system location; the 

System Manager’s office name has been 

updated; the ‘‘Purpose of the System,’’ 

‘‘Categories of Individuals Covered by 

the System,’’ ‘‘Categories of Records in 

the System,’’ and ‘‘Record Source 

Categories’’ sections have been 

expanded to accommodate current 

administration and parking practices, 

which include permitting monthly and 

daily pass purchases and 

accommodating individuals based on 

disability status. In the ‘‘Authorities’’ 

section, Executive Order 12778 and 

DOE HQ 0344.1 Parking have been 

removed. To the ‘‘Policies and Practices 

for Retrieval of Records’’ section, the 

following has been added: employee ID 

number, assigned permit number, or 

license number. In the ‘‘Routine Uses’’ 

section, this modified notice deletes a 

previous routine use concerning efforts 

responding to a suspected or confirmed 

loss of confidentiality of information as 

it appears in DOE’s compilation of its 

Privacy Act Systems of Records (January 

9, 2009) and replaces it with one to 

assist DOE with responding to a 

suspected or confirmed breach of its 

records of Personally Identifiable 

Information (PII), modeled with 

language from OMB’s Memorandum M– 

17–12, ‘‘Preparing for and Responding 

to a Breach of Personally Identifiable 

Information’’ (January 3, 2017). Further, 

this notice adds one new routine use to 

ensure that DOE may assist another 

agency or entity in responding to the 

other agency’s or entity’s confirmed or 

suspected breach of PII, as appropriate, 

as aligned with OMB’s Memorandum 

M–17–12. An administrative change 

required by the FOIA Improvement Act 

of 2016 extends the length of time a 

requestor is permitted to file an appeal 

under the Privacy Act from 30 to 90 

days. Both the ‘‘System Locations’’ and 

‘‘Administrative, Technical and 

Physical Safeguards’’ sections have been 

modified to reflect the Department’s 

usage of cloud-based services for 

records storage. Language throughout 

the SORN has been updated to align 

with applicable Federal privacy laws, 

policies, procedures, and best practices. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER: 

DOE–25 U.S. Commuter Locator and 

Parking Space Information System. 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

Unclassified. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

Systems leveraging this SORN may 

exist in multiple locations. All systems

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) security and privacy 

standards for access and data retention. 

Records maintained in a governmentapproved cloud server are accessed 

through secure data centers in the 

continental United States.
